Help with firewall adjuster

[skiwesser]

I finally got the Quadrant changed out, I got the summit kit with double hook Quad., f.w adjuster, cable that is adjustable at the tranny as well.
Well the firewall adjuster didn't look right, the flange that bolts to the firewall was between the two lock rings, the only way I see it could fit was to run the rings up the threads together (on the end you insert the cable, feed it through and bolt it to the firewall, is that right or even make sense?
I have it all the way in up top, can't see any threads, full loose I'm guessing?And it's as loose as it can get at the tranny, I have the cable hooked to the top latch on Quad., wouldn't reach the lower one and the cable is pretty tight very little play in cable at trans.
And the clutch engages within 1" to 1 1/2" of downward pedal travel.
From a stop it doesn't engage until the pedal is almost at the top of it's travel and I'm use to it engaging about 2" from the floor.
Will the cable stretch and allow me to set it up the way I want it or have I got that firewall adjuster in wrong??
